In the wake of the Planned Parenthood organ harvesting scandal, hundreds of thousands of Americans in cities all over the country took part in protests this past weekend. [2] The pro-life protesters hope to end Federal taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood, which currently receives over half a billion dollars per year. Michigan state senators, some of whom appeared at the protests Saturday, have launched their own bill to defund the organization. [3] Satan worshipers in Michigan recently poured milk over women in a pathetic attempt to simulate waterboarding in several Planned Parenthood locations. Clad in black robes, members of the “Satanic Temple of Detroit” poured gallons of milk on bound women to “illustrate the theocratic agenda imposed upon female bodies.” The women made dramatic noises to seemingly act as if they were suffering as the liquid fell over their heads and streamed down their bodies. [7] The Satanists declared that their ‘demonstration’ was a counter protest in support of the abortion giant. The milk symbolized breast milk according to one of the protest organizers. The group also held aloft a US flag emblazoned with their Satanic symbol, and a sign that read “America is not a theocracy. End forced motherhood.” Jex Blackmore from the Satanic Temple explained why they decided to hold the demonstration. He said, “…We opted to do a form of political theater because we feel very much that is what the opposition is doing. Milk to us is symbolic of motherhood and we feel clergy is promoting a form of theocracy in forcing women to adhere to their ethical guidelines.” [6] Pro-life advocate, Brad Smith, said the following about the Satanist’s presence at the event: “There were a few hundred Planned Parenthood protesters, but we were also joined by a few dozen Planned Parenthood supporters. It was an eclectic crowd and included a significant number of SATANISTS. There was a sign that read WITCHES FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD.” [6] He added, “Toward the end of the event, the Satanists gathered together to perform what felt like a weird ritual. You can watch it in this news story by FOX 2 Detroit. What is so interesting in this video is how the women are subjected by the men. You certainly didn’t see any men subjecting women on their knees being waterboarded with milk where we were protesting. The same people who claim to be for women are openly denigrating the women. Well, my mom always used to tell me that You ARE the company You keep. Defenders of Planned Parenthood, this is the company you keep.” [6]

At one point during the protest, a man claiming to be a sheriff attempted to remove the maniacs from the city sidewalk, as they shouted that they had a right to be there and defile both the women and public property. Finally, police made them move along and they were predictably hateful towards the officers. They challenged the police on the Constitution and the officer told him he had a copy with him. [5]

The devil-worshippers’ actions come as tens of thousands of pro-lifers showed up to protest at Planned Parenthood offices at over 300 locations across the country in the wake of several undercover videos surfacing online revealing the harvesting and selling of baby organs and tissue. The Satanic Temple group hit headlines last month when it was revealed that it used funds from a recent PR driven Baphomet statue unveiling in Detroit to fund an effort to undermine legal moves to ban abortion after 20-weeks, as well as other anti-abortion legislation. [2] The group has been strongly fighting for abortion freedom in legal ways. In May 2015, the group officially announced that it was filing a case against Missouri Governor and Attorney General over its abortion restrictions, according to Vice News. Satanists filed the lawsuit after a member only identified as “Mary Doe” opted for an abortion, but was required to take 72 hours of booklet review before undergoing procedure. The booklet reportedly reads, “The life of each human being begins at conception. Abortion will terminate the life of a separate, unique, living human being.” [14] The Temple, supports on-demand abortion, and vehemently opposes all anti-abortion proposals, including the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which requires the physician to first determine the probable post-fertilization age of the unborn child before performing an abortion, and would ban abortions after 20 weeks except in cases where the woman’s life is in danger, or where rape, incest has led to the pregnancy. “The Satanic Temple strongly opposes the promotion of misinformation and believes that all people are entitled to make informed decisions about their health, family and future without coercion,” says the group’s web site. “We consider our action a form of worship; the rejection of tyranny is an affirmation of selfhood. So long as perverted theocratic systems of power attempt to manipulate our communities and distort truths for political gain, we will rebel.” [2] Satan worshipers believe that “Satan is representative of the eternal rebel, enlightened inquiry and personal freedom,” proclaims the Satanic Temple’s web site. [3]

If the Satanic Temple strongly opposes misinformation, then perhaps they should stick to facts. They repeat the claim, for example, that Planned Parenthood provides critical preventive and reproductive health care services to low-income women — however, PP’s own annual reports say otherwise, showing that all of these services, with the exception of abortion, have been dropping under Cecile Richards’ leadership. Abortion is Planned Parenthood’s business, plain and simple. Defunding Planned Parenthood would not suddenly rob low-income women of the opportunity to receive health care (health care that Planned Parenthood doesn’t provide much of to begin with). The number of health clinics that focus on providing actual health care, and not on abortions, far outnumber Planned Parenthood clinics across the country. [13] As for forced motherhood, no one is forced to become a mother in this country. Actions do have consequences, though. If a woman chooses to have sex, then she opens the door to the potential for pregnancy. It’s that simple. In the very, very rare cases that a woman becomes pregnant through rape, there is a non-violent way for her to avoid being a mother. It’s called adoption, and there are thousands of couples waiting for the opportunity to adopt a baby. [13] While Satanists may try to frame this as an issue of making the United States into a “theocracy,” religion has nothing to do with any of this. Science and medicine both have indisputably proven the humanity of preborn children. [13]

Former Satanist Zachary King

Although the group’s protest and the ceremony was strange, it was not unprecedented considering their love and history with abortion. As LifeNews previously reported, many Satanists believe abortion is sacred and some participate in the procedures themselves. In fact, former Satanist Zachary King explained that participating in abortions is particularly important for Satanists because it is considered the best way to give an offering to Satan. He said, “In Satanism, killing something or the death of something is the is the most effective way of getting your spell accomplished. As far as trying to get satan’s approval, to give you something that you want, killing something is the best way to go. Killing something is the ultimate offering to satan, and if you can kill an unborn, that is his ultimate goal.” King was in the occult for 26-years and performed 141 ritual abortions. [6] In an interview with the Lepanto Institute, he said high profile abortion facilities drew members of the occult because of the opportunity to perform ritual abortions. He also described his first experience performing a ritual abortion when he was only 14-years-old. King said the abortion took place in a farmhouse that was surprisingly cleaner than many of the actual abortion facilities he visited later. He explained, “There was a woman in stirrups about to have a baby who was surrounded by 13 top members of our coven, which were all high priests and priestesses. I was inside the circle with the woman and the abortion doctor. All the adult members of my coven were there. There were several women kneeling on the floor, swaying back and forth chanting ‘our body and ourselves’ over and over again. Off to the side were several male members of our coven all chanting and praying.” Apparently, King didn’t have to perform the actual abortion, he just had to insert the scalpel and get blood on his hands. The former Satanist did admit that particular abortion was the worst he had ever seen. He concluded, “…The doctor reached in, ripped the baby out and threw it onto the floor where these women were swaying. The women looked like they were possessed, and when the doctor threw the baby out to them, they cannibalized the baby.” [6] [12]

The Satanic Temple shared a video of the counter protest on its YouTube page titled, “Political Theatre Against Pro-Life Day Of Protest.” A description explained, “The Temple employed radical political theatre to illustrate the theocratic agenda imposed upon female bodies.”
